JBoss acquired by RedHat

[Stan Silvert]

Hello MyFaces folks (“MyFacers”??).  I believe in being completely transparent, so I will tell you that I didn’t actually write the text below.  I was asked to send out an email as JBoss’ representative to the MyFaces project and I decided to go with the suggested template.  However, I really am personally excited about it.  As some of you on the dev list may have noticed, I’ve been given more time to work on MyFaces lately and I now expect this support to continue or increase.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement: JBoss signs Definitive Agreement to be acquired by Red Hat   I am personally excited to tell you that JBoss has accepted an acquisition offer from Red Hat.  The goal of JBoss has always been to promote and accelerate the adoption of Open Source and the Professional Open Source Model and we are excited to be joining the largest independent open source provider.  Together we will further expedite the development and adoption of new innovative open source products.   Red Hat recognizes that the developer community plays a pivotal role in the success of JBoss and will invest significant resources in the JBoss developer community with more extensive online education, additional training options, and other initiatives to help ensure their continued support and success.   JBoss will continue contributions to MyFaces. Both Red Hat and JBoss are dedicated to open source licensing models and will ensure that JBoss products will continue to be offered under business-friendly open source licenses.  JBoss will remain focused on providing the high-quality open source middleware and delivering the excellent support that our customers have come to expect.    I am convinced that the Red Hat acquisition will lead to continuity and growth for our developer community.
